INTRODUCTION

When planning an Athlete Development Camp, there are many facets of the camp to consider in the planning process. USA Cycling thanks its long-time camp directors for their efforts to support our shared mission of ensuring a safe and enjoyable cycling environment for all.

Strategies for safeguarding athletes continue to evolve, and we are fully committed to keeping pace with developments in this space and enabling you to deliver camps that implement best-known practices. We appreciate that this requires additional efforts and resources, and we strive to provide you with the best support possible to help you deliver camps that set the standard for athlete safety in cycling.

As you prepare to host your upcoming camp, we would like to provide the following information, which constitutes USA Cycling’s Safe Sport Protocol for implementing SafeSport-related requirements issued by the U.S. Center for SafeSport and adopted by USA Cycling. These protocols aim to ensure you, your camp, and your participants remain in compliance and experience a safe and enjoyable camp. 

Once you have completed the requirements outlined in the documents below, your camp will be featured in USA Cycling's Camp Finder, allowing parents and potential athletes to register  with confidence and peace of mind.
